Time: 18:00-20:00pm Friday August, 27th
Cost:free
Host:Jingni Wang
In recycle-x project, five artists from Brazil, China, Spain, Netherlands and Croatia came to a old city called Dordrecht in Netherlands create art work there. What they specification is sustainable of society and soft technology, and share art with local community.
As one of the artist, what I want to share in this presentation is three project recycle-x did already:
Plantas Parlantes—-A installation that make plants “talking and screaming” to people who touch it.
Achterstraat—-We use conductive fabric and thread create a local map with local handy women. People were brought together by making map and sharing stories.
Looking for people who live in a sustainable way—- A seven days’ research to find people who live in a sustainable way in Dordrecht and make a diary and street intervention of it.
I will make the presentation focusing on the process of art project, that’s say ” what was happening”. I really want to share the process of mind work, process of technique realization and the experiences of sharing art with local people. I will take some recycled container and plant seed, we will plant it together after presentation.
Welcome media artist, art students and people who are interested in the connection of art and social sustainability.
WHO I AM?
My name is Jingni Wang, 24 years old, from Fujian.
I studied new media art in China Academy of Art since 2006. When I was in school, it was more studio work rather than “going out”. In 2008, I went to America and work as a art teacher in summer camp, it became my first time experiences of “share art with people”. And after graduating from school, I involved in establishing of a community art organization. Therefore, I got chances to “play art” with immigrants in Shanghai. In 2010, I started my residency in Dordrecht, Netherlands, collaborated with artists from different background. We lived in a community, create work with local people.
Every time, those kind of sharing art experiences is like “self-education” for me. It brings me happiness, love, knowledge, culture understanding, and even wise of life.They are like surprises out of art theory system. And that’s what I want to share with you this time.
I am young, more into composing rather than theory, so, this presentation will be more visualized, could be like a story telling.
